Consolidated Solar Research at UCLan
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Central Lancashire
Department Name: Jeremiah Horrocks Institute
Abstract
This consolidated grant proposal brings together solar physics research within the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute of the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). We will undertake investigations to study the processes that lead to eruptions in the Sun's atmosphere, and how energetic particle released during these eruptions are transported from the Sun to the Earth and beyond into interplanetary space.
The motion of sunspots in the Sun's photosphere can inject energy into the atmospheric magnetic field. We will study the rotation of sunspots by developing an algorithm to automatically detect and analyse rotating sunspots. This will be used to understand what causes them to rotate, and to determine to what extent rotating sunspots lead to solar flares and eruptions.
These solar eruptions release energetic particles into the heliosphere. We will simulate the motions of these solar energetic particles (SEPs) in order to study SEP transport from the Sun to the Earth. This will link into a study of the relation between solar eruptive events and SEP transport, which in turn will allow us to make more accurate predictions of space weather effects on the Earth.

| Title | Sunspot rotation data: test regions |
| Description | These files contain calculated sunspot torsional rotation profiles for 5 active regions (and 6 sunspots) measured from data acquired by the HMI instrument on NASA's Solar Dynamics Orbiter. Other ancillary data produced as part of the calculations (such as uncertainties, umbral areas, sunspot position, and so on) are also included with the profiles. The five regions were used as testing and development data for validating the approach of Brown and Walker. |
